Locals have plenty of reasons to be thankful this year. From city officials and education leaders to business owners and law enforcement, Santa Monicans pointed to friends and family as well as community as bright spots in 2024.

The season of thanks was also felt at St. Joseph Center in Venice last week, as the nonprofit hosted its annual drive-through turkey giveaway, providing more than 1,600 Thanksgiving meals to individuals and families in need.
